I've just added a section to this site for Virginia Wieringa to showcase some of her artwork. The artist, also known as "Aunt Ginny," has used watercolor paints, charcoal, and oils to create gorgeous nature scenes and intimate still lifes. Now you can see some of her work by going to the Art by Virginia Wieringa pages.

The Republican ticket is working hard this week to make Barack Obama's tenuous connection to graying, '60s revolutionary Bill Ayers a major campaign issue. But the Palins' connection to anti-American extremism is much more central to their political biographies...
Ms. Havemeister was one of at least five schoolmates Ms. Palin hired, often at salaries far exceeding their private sector wages.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and her Republican supporters held back little Wednesday as they issued dismissive attacks on Barack Obama and flattering praise on her credentials to be vice president. In some cases, the reproach and the praise stretched the truth.

Most Americans still don't know, as Marshall writes, that on the campaign trail "McCain frequently forgets key elements of policies, gets countries' names wrong, forgets things he?s said only hours or days before and is frequently just confused." ...

Hi Nicole Tieri!
This is NicKole (w/ a "k" as you can see!) from SUNNY California speaking!! Hope all's going well for you after your "Idol" stint! I was SO disappointed that you didn't get through(William HUNG gets a DEAL & you DON'T?? C'mon America!) I absolutely ADORED your rendition of "Tell Him" during the GROUP auditions! I wish that the judges had let you through so you could have stayed on & eventually done a SINGLE of that song--it was GREAT! Well, if you ever make a SOLO Broadway album, please try & include that song for ME, OK? I think a GREAT role for you on stage would be either "Belle" in "Beauty & the Beast" or the lead in "Phantom of the Opera". Your presence is SO powerful & you would definitely do those roles JUSTICE! I was wondering where I can send a request by "snail-mail" for an autographed photo?? I'd really LOVE to have one from the "Scooter Girl" herself, because you, my fellow Nik, are going to be HUGE sometime soon!! Well, take care. Best wishes in all your endeavors!
From,
Nik
